Situated in Arkansas, Little Rock’s Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport has taken delivery of three Oshkosh Airport Products Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) vehicles.
Chosen for their innovative technology and reliability, the airport’s Oshkosh additions include two Striker 4X4 ARFF vehicles equipped with roof turrets and one Striker 4X4 ARFF vehicle featuring a Snozzle high-reach extendable turret to provide versatility and advanced firefighting capabilities. The vehicles also feature the new Driver Enhanced Vision System (DEVS), which provides live flight data and supports drivers in poor visibility conditions through its navigation, tracking and vision enhancement components.
The Striker vehicles also have a 1,500 gallon water capacity, 222 gallons of fluorine-free foam (an environmentally conscious choice aligning with modern safety and environmental standards) and 550 pounds of dry chemical capacity.
Commenting on the new deliveries, Eric Hildreth, Battalion Chief with the Little Rock Fire Department, said: “Our ARFF crews are excited to welcome the new Oshkosh Airport Products Striker vehicles into service which have made for a significant fleet upgrade. The advanced technology, cockpit ergonomics, operational performance and accessibility of ongoing service support for the life of our apparatus were key factors in our decision.”
